A member asked:
What blood thinners are given to people with stroke/heart attack and peptic ulcers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood thinner: this is a difficult situation because you have to balance between the ulcer and the need for blood thinner. A good choice is enteric coated aspirin. However, depending on the etiology of stroke or heart dz, a blood thinner may be avoided.
